BOSTON, MA, May 11, 2005 -- Fidelity Investments today announced that the Public School Retirement System of the City of St. Louis has selected Fidelity Management Trust Company to manage $57.4 million in an international growth portfolio on behalf of its defined benefit pension plan.

The portfolio will be invested in Fidelity's International Growth discipline which seeks to outperform the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index by combining Fidelity's most attractive international stock picks with a bottom-up asset allocation process.

"We are extremely pleased that the Public School Retirement System of the City of St. Louis has selected Fidelity to manage this mandate as their non- U.S. equity allocation in their defined benefit plan," said Drew Lawton, chief executive officer and president, Fidelity Management Trust Company. "Over the last six months, we have seen an increasing number of defined benefit plan sponsors adding international equities to either increase their overall allocation, or add another level of diversification within their existing portfolio."

Fidelity Management Trust Company manages more than $100 billion for 450 institutional clients worldwide. The company offers institutional asset management for active and risk-controlled equity, fixed-income, international equity, and real estate, in addition to providing trust services and bundled solutions to its institutional clients.
